Virginia believes that, "Clutter is the physical manifestation of mental distraction, and prevents us from maximizing productivity and joy." Both the activities and belongings we choose to surround ourselves with are supposed to support and complement our lives; yet, when we have so many unread magazines, unopened mail, and well-intended projects piling up that are causing us fatigue before we do anything, how can that be beneficial to our health, well-being and peace of mind?Clutter creates an illusion of 'busyness', but it represents the opposite: stagnation. Virginia has spent a lifetime practicing her mantra of "MORE LIVING less stuff" and she shares her four-fold C.A.L.M. strategy with readers in this transformational book, empowering them to break free from their clutter and harness the energy of life -- not stuff -- to find personal fulfillment.
